Mayor Coffman unveils a "bold vision" for the future of Aurora during his State of the City address. His goal is for us to overcome our challenges and turn them into opportunities. We have highlights from his speech as well as the full address. Also on this week's show, a powerful story about the city's SAVE program, which stands for Standing Against Violence Every Day. It's a new approach to reducing youth violence that connects police, community members and those who've committed crimes to try to break the cycle. Representatives from our Aurora Animal Shelter stop by to help us protect our pups from fireworks fears, and we take a look back at all the buzz at this year's Party for Pollinators.
